Caledonian we wish the happy couple
all the felicities of welded life. MAY
they always dwell on the southern
slope of the hill of life, and may their

lawn and double the sweetness Of
every fragrant flower. We bestOw Oul

our good wishes are tempered with re-
grets. They leave their native state
They take with them SO much of the
pervexand sinew and enterprise that is
needed right here among our hills
But after.all: Go where you will
Good luck, good luck!
The Bride
is the youngest daughter of DR.. L. F.
Parker. She is one of those bright,
CHEEKY girls who have for a long time
constituted VermOnt's leading export.
Born and reared in our village, educat-
ed at our academy, she is to our little
community like one of the family. She
has also, like most Vermont girls,
taught in our common schools, and al
ways with success. Of late she has
paid much attention to painting, pur-
suing her studies both here and in
Boston. For the ceremony she was
dressed in white ottoman silk with
crystal jet trimmings and watered rib
bOns; bouquets white anemOnes and
smilax dress made en- train and white
slippers to match.
The Groom,
Col. Harvey, is specimen of what
Vermont can do when she turns her
hand to making men. Tall, 1.-the, erect,
courteous and sOciable in manner, of
his chosen profession, his success as a
journalist seems assured fir ON the out
set. His taste for printers ink devel-
Oped at Il very early age. Our first ac-
quaintance with him was in a boys
printing Office where he was sole COM
position, pressman and proof reader.
respOndence for the local papers. He
was at one time on the editorial staff
of the CaledOnian but soon found a
broader field Oh the Springfield Re-
publican, and in Chicago where he
worked for the News. His later sue
cesses on the staff of the N. Y. World
have already been noticed in this pa
per. At present he is editor and pub
Usher of the Newark Journal. For the
occasion he was faultlessly dressed in
Prince Albert suit.
The best man was Mr.. Charles STAN
ton of the N. Y. World, and the maid
of honor was cousin of the bride,
Miss Cora Stewart of Auburndale,
Mass, who was dressed i'm lavender
silk with white lace draperies.
Besides large circle of friends and
relatives in town, we notice among the
Sawin, of Mass, Mrs. Ripley of Colo
RADIO, Mrs. Parker of Coventry, Mr.,
Mrs. and Miss Cutting of Montpelier,
Mrs. Babcock formerly of Cabot, NJ. H.
Parker and wife of Minneapolis, Mr..
and Mrs. Hardy of birmingham, Mass,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Hay of New York.
The rooms were beautifully decorated
with evergreens the doors and win
dows gracefully draped in trailing
vines, while jars of bright autumn
leaves lent their colors to the scene.
The ceremony. The bride and
groom, preceded by the best man and
maid of honor, entered the room to
the music of Memberships wedding
march. The ceremony was in accord
ance with the form of the Episcopal
church, and was very impressive. Di-
rectly after the ceremony the march
from LOhengrin was played and con-
CALCULATIONS were received Then re-
freshments were charmingly served by
the brides school friends. Amid a
shower of rice and old shoes, the couple
attended by many friends, departed to
take the afternoon train for Burlington.
The presents were elegant, numer-
Gus and costly. We had prepared a
partial list of them, but omit it, owing
to their great number and to the fact
that some of the bulkier and more cost
ly presents were not sent, but await
the couple i'm New York. The list in
cludes much solid silver ware, both
useful and ornamental, costly books,
works of art, mirrors, dainty bric-a-
brac, exquisite linen and rare lace.
